PREFArORT NOTE 

HE following General Orders are 
m a full transcript of a Ms. orderly 
-^ book which recently came into my 
possession. 'The manuscript belonged to the 
regiment of General Phineas Lyman^ of 
Connecticut^ one of the commanding officers in 
the campaign against the French^ and a man 
whose merits and sterling qualities were not 
recognized by his English colleagues and 
superiors. 'The credit that was owing to 
him was given to others ; but a study of the 
campaign of i/S^ shows how ably he per- 
formed his part, and how much its success 
depended upon his efforts. 

We cannot seek in orderly books for 
deeds of bravery ^ or incidents of battle ; but 
we do find what is of equal interest — the 
discipline of the camp and the punishment of 



wrong doing. 'The dry and somewhat color- 
less record of the troops from day to day 
becomes of value when the history of a com- 
pany or of an army is to be written. Where 
discipline is maintained and a proper care for 
the health and morals of the men is bestowed^ 
surely praise is due. In this light the orders 
hold a high rank as authoritative records^ 
and for this reason I have deemed them 
worthy of publication. 

The editing of this issue was performed 
by Mr. Worthington C. Ford.
